Neighborhood disparities and metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease in children with overweight or obesity
Children with MASLD were more likely to live in neighborhoods with greater socioeconomic and environmental disadvantage than their peers with overweight or obesity but without MASLD. These findings highlight potential SDH targets for public health interventions aimed at reducing MASLD risk in children.
